Bath re-enamelling near Craigiebuckler

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Craigiebuckler

If your bath is sound but looks tired, re-enamelling is usually the most cost-effective option. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. Typical jobs include stains that won’t shift and an old resurfacing that’s failing, in cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Different materials, different repairs

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.

Craigiebuckler questions

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Do you charge for travel?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Is there a smell?

Yes, while we’re applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.

How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Craigiebuckler?

Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

How soon can you come?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Craigiebuckler?

Many baths we resurface have simply been well used, and only the surface is worn. The body of the bath is generally perfectly sound.

Common reasons people in Craigiebuckler contact us include:

  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • Stains that won’t shift
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • A coating lifting around the plughole

10 questions to ask before you book

Aftercare tips

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Have chips seen to early

Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.

Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.

What happens on the day

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take most of the day, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

How to get a price

When a repair isn’t the answer

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

For landlords and businesses

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The type of damage
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Quotes from your photos

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath

Send us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Craigiebuckler, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
